Police in Volgograd were still looking Friday for six stolen containers of highly radioactive material that can cause serious harm or even death to anyone coming into close contact with it.

The six containers, containing the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, were stolen from a LUKoil oil refinery in Volgograd on May 7, prompting authorities in the Volgograd region to mobilize hundreds of police and civil defense troopers to help in the search.

Police believe the thieves 'may intend to smuggle the cesium - ■ which is not suitable for use in nuclear weapons - out of Russia for sale.

But the biggest fear is that the thieves have no idea of the danger presented by the cesium and might open up the lead containers.
